Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, by using the Zucker fatty diabetes mellitus (ZFDM) rat, a novel rat model of type 2 diabetes which has been developed by the representative researcher’s group, we performed genetic analysis and exome analysis to identify diabetes susceptibility genes, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing of the candidate gene to verify the causality, mRNA-sequencing and metabolome analysis to elucidate longitudinal changes in metabolic dysfunction, and proteome analysis to identify abnormally modified proteins, resulting in the clarification of a part of genetic factors and mechanisms involved in the development and progression of the disease.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究により明らかとなったZFDMラットにおける遺伝素因と膵島障害の発症・進展機構は、ヒト糖尿病の遺伝素因と病態発症・進展機構の解明や新規のメカニズムに基づく治療薬の開発の基盤となると考えられる。また、同様の研究手法が適用可能な様々の研究分野において疾患モデルの有用性を実証するものである。
